Benefits of technology

The present patent describes a child safety seat with a belt tensioning mechanism that is easy to operate and can provide proper tension in the seat belt for securely attaching the seat on a vehicle seat in either a rearward or forward facing configuration. The seat includes a seat shell with two openings for the anchoring belt. There are two belt restraining members connected to the seat shell, each with a clamping state for pressing the belt tightly against the shell and a release state for easy installation or removal of the belt. Each belt restraining member is independently rotatable relative to the seat shell between the release state and the clamping state. The first belt restraining member can be rotated to clamp against the belt passing through the first opening, and the second belt restraining member can be rotated to clamp against the belt passing through the second opening. The technical effect of this innovation is to provide a comfortable and safe seat for children that can be securely attached to a vehicle seat in a variety of configurations, and with proper tension in the seat belt.

Problems solved by technology

This can be so difficult to achieve with certain child safety seats that a caregiver may need to climb into the vehicle and press down on the child safety seat while pulling on the vehicle seatbelt.

Embodiment Construction

[0014]FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating an embodiment of a child safety seat 100. The child safety seat 100 can include a base 102, and a seat shell 104 assembled with the base 102. The base 102 can provide stable support for installation of the child safety seat 100 on a vehicle seat. The seat shell 104 can include a seat portion 106, a backrest portion 108, and a headrest 110 that may be vertically adjusted along the backrest portion 108 to adapt to a child size. Moreover, the seat shell 104 may be slidably adjustable relative to the base 102 between a plurality of recline positions for facilitating installation and positioning of the child seat safety seat 100 on a vehicle seat.

[0015]The seat shell 104 has a shell surface 104A that extends along the seat portion 106 and the backrest portion 108. The shell surface 104A can be sideways delimited between two sidewalls 112 that respectively extend along a left and a right side of the seat portion 106 and the backrest portion ...

Abstract

A child safety seat includes a seat shell, and a first and a second belt restraining member respectively connected with the seat shell. The seat shell has a shell surface, and a first and a second opening for selective passage of an anchoring belt to attach the child safety seat on a vehicle seat in two different configurations, which include a rearward and a forward facing configuration. The first belt restraining member is independently operable to press against an anchoring belt passing through the first opening, and the second belt restraining member is independently operable to press against an anchoring belt passing through the second opening.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 62 / 243,922 filed on Oct. 20, 2015, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to child safety seats.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]A child safety seat is typically used in an automobile vehicle to properly restrain a child in the event of accidental collision. It is widely known that a child safety seat that is placed in a rear facing position can provide better protection, because it can distribute crash forces over a larger portion of the body (i.e., child's head and torso). Accordingly, safety experts and car seat manufacturers usually recommend to seat children in a vehicle in a rear facing configuration until the age of 2 years old. As the child grows older, the child safety seat then may be installed in a forward facing configuration.[0006]The instal...
